I used to be a manager in a business with 2 different unions, and the requirement for any staffing changes such as that required management to "meet and confer" with the union. In fact, it was required for any workplace change, if that change is likely to affect represented employees in some manner, even if the represented employees have agreed to the change. In your case the question would have to go to your union shop steward or the Labor Relations manager to review the contract. I know that happened, and during the recession of 2008 in our city the union building permit department had severe cuts in hours due to lack of work.

Yes I know I have to contact the rep which I did but she is on vacation. In the meantime I just wanted to get some info on here too hoping that there might be people with knowledge on this subject.
Question? I work full time for the state and belong to the union. Can an employer charge my status to part time claiming there’s not enough work?
Even with union, companies reorg all the times. When that happens, employees bump one another. Whoever has more seniority has more chance to keep his/her FT. Many FT employees with less seniority may have to become PT. And PT employees may become casual.

At where I work, reorg happened many times.
It would be only me no others , and no reorg going on, I think my boss just doesn’t like me

Well, that's an easy accusation to throw out but harder to prove. Reducing your hours would require justification...both to management and your union!
